We are the 500!

So... ummm... before writing this post I completed Infected for the very first time... how long has it been available? In any case, I can't believe how easy it is to defeat the Borg Queen, Rebecca, at the end. Jumping is harder then that. One second the battle begins, the next... we are done. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad it was easy, but I can't believe jumping was the hardest part. Anyway I just thought I'd share that. By the way, thanks to everyone from the STO Academy fleet who did this with me! It was out first fleet mission event and it was a success. I can't wait to do more.
The Devidian rerun series started this week and the newest special reward is a personal shield. I can never remember the name of it but I really liked it. Let me know when you comment on this video if you like the shield. Also be sure to take this week's poll about it http://forum.stoacademy.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=27.
On to more important matters. The 500 day Veteran rewards were announced this week! We get a new title Relentless which I think is awesome. Our characters get 250 free emblems, an extra ship slot, and exclusive costume pieces. I don't know about you guys but I'm really looking forward to those emblems. There are definitely some items I'll need to buy with them. I just can't believe this game is almost 500 days old and that I've almost reached that point. It seems like yesterday that I started the STO Fan site (for those that don't know, STO Fan was the old name of this site). As for the extra ship slot, its about time! I really don't want to buy more ship slots, but I've run out of room. Cryptic has been releasing too many ships and I just want them all! I'm greedy, I know. I'll be honest I only fly two ships. My escort and my captain's yacht.
If you haven't seen it already, here is a shot of the Federation 500 day costume http://yfrog.com/gyihmfnj. Apparently they are also releasing an idic badge http://yfrog.com/h2kd2nbj which I really want for my Vulcan character. Since I'm sharing pictures that the devs put up on twitter I might as well show you this one of Starfleet Academy http://yfrog.com/h3e5dzlj. Is anyone else excited?
I guess that's all for this week. Be sure to start the Cloaked Intentions rerun when it is released at the end of this week. Let me know what you guys think of the devidian shields and the 500 day rewards. Feel free to comment on anything I said. Take care!
End transmission.

Also the Klinks are getting shoulder cape that Duras had for 500 day vet :P And Im pretty sure Infected has been around since launch.

Rebecca, the STF boss and all STF bosses have been unintentionally nerfed by the devs. That's why the boss encounter was so easy. It will be fixed eventually and jumping will be much much easier than defeating the boss.
